Sunshine makes me happy

28/2/2021

0 Comments

 
And just like that another week disappears. I have thoroughly enjoyed the sunshine and mild weather. Taken myself on long walks to be surround by nature. It was great to see so many people enjoying the sunshine with picnics, must admit I was annoyed I didn't think of it. Anyway, short and sweet post for you today as I have an early start tomorrow and am exhausted. Anyone else like to have a early night on Sunday to start the week rested?

Goals and Learning new tricks

21/2/2021

0 Comments

 
 This week has been busy and I have really enjoyed working on a variety of projects. Sometimes I feel like freelancing is balancing 45 different tasks at once. Anyway, as we went into lockdown 1.0 I made a list of areas I wanted to improve in. Post production was top on the list. After years of focusing on capturing a moment it was time to understand how powerful an edit can be to complete an image/video. I wanted to add more flare to my video edits as well as experimenting more in grading my photography.

Now I have spent far too many hours attached to my laptop this week so will keep this brief. During the last year I finally updated my editing software so have enjoyed learning a new program as well as trying to push myself creatively. Normally I wouldn't share an unedited image but thought i would this week so you can see how important this process can be. For me, I will  shoot a certain way, knowing that this will work in the edit. I shoot in RAW, for the extra information, so I have more scope in grading.  So the first image below is the original 'flat' RAW image. The second is partially edited, lifting the exposure slightly as well as shadows. I have kept this image clean as clients often have their own filter which they use for social media. Lastly, I have graded the image and added grain as it come as no surprise that I love a filmic look.

Happy Valentines Day

14/2/2021

Crazy how quickly this week zoomed past. Don't get me wrong Monday was a long and productive day, but blink and suddenly it is the weekend. All fairly chilled at this end, spent some time editing and going for long walks. Always feel so much better after some fresh air, even if I return feeling more like a snowman upon my return. In the spirit of Valentine's I thought I would share some more images I took of the stunning Mariko last year. Are you ordering a takeaway or cooking? Either way I hope you all have a lovely day. I am very excited to try out some new recipes from the Dishoom cookbook tonight.

Spotlight (You)

7/2/2021

0 Comments

 
This week I wanted to share details of Jai Jai Prince new single "Spotlight (You)". You might remember last year I did a shoot with Jai, I shared some of the film image on the blog earlier. So I was super happy when he ask if he could use one of my images for his single release. We were meant to shoot the CD cover last year but have for the moment place this on hold till is is safe to do so.


So “Spotlight (You)” is out NOW and on all major streaming platforms. You can also check out the video on YouTube too. Jai explains that this track is pretty wild. A dark story about a really difficult time where I was trying to slowly clean up the messes I had made in my life. “Spotlight (You)” is my apology to the person I was during that time, forgiving him for the slip ups and mistakes he made as he tried to heal.
